GameEx problem when files or path has parenthesis in their names


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hiya!

I noticed gameex has issues when filenames have parenthesis in them. For example:

SUPER GAME 1 (PSX) [DISC 1 of 25].ISO

will appear on the list as: SUPER GAME 1

, everything after the ( will get cut off... it will play fine though.

Same with paths, only this time they don't get recognized , c:\programs (x86) will be parsed as c:\programs , thus an invalid path. This issue happens at least in win7 , I cannot test in other versions for now... ;)

Have you tried installing your programs within another path? I use Win 7 and found this was necessary due to UAC and installing to paths that Windows recognizes as protected so that I do not have to Run as Administrator.

As far as the file names, this could be a result of Remove Text in Brackets setting under Emulator Setup. This is purely cosmetic for the way it's listed.

As for the paths, perhaps it's an issue with your setting in the emulator setup and not using quotes. Please provide a config where this occurs so we can have a look see.
